  "account": "Wall Street has slumped, with the Nasdaq 100-leading the decline, as concerns over AI-linked stocks intensify. A Democratic victory in both houses of Congress has heightened fears that AI data center projects could face new restrictions and regulatory scrutiny. The AI sector's dependent component is suffering, and the ripple effects are felt in microchip and semiconductor sectors, contributing to broader market losses. The Nasdaq tech index has dropped 5%, sinking approximately 1,400 points, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have slipped by roughly 3% and 2%, respectively. Fitch forecasts that a significant portion of planned data center capacity might encounter regulatory obstacles under incoming governors in Texas, Georgia, and Ohio, sectors where major Nasdaq 100 companies operate or supply. The Nasdaq is a US-based stock exchange, which transitioned from an electronic quotation machine to an exchange itself. It now constitutes a major portion of the US securities market, comprising over 90% of the Nasdaq Composite index. The index's performance is heavily influenced by the earnings reports of its component companies and broader US and global economic indicators, including inflation rates and interest rates set by the Federal Reserve.",
  "summary": "A fresh wave of selling in AI-linked stocks is pulling Wall Street into one of its worst days in recent memory. A Democratic win in both the upper and lower houses has added fresh worries that AI data center projects could face renewed moratoriums and regulatory pressures.",
